Connecting a video source

Many video devices have more than one type of output port. When you connect the device to the projector, choose the connection that provides the best picture quality. Relative picture qualities are indicated by stars in the following diagram. If you have several video sources, you can connect them to the different ports, or you can connect them to an audio/video receiver and connect the receiver to the projector (see “Connecting several video sources” on page 26).

Only the S-video and composite-video cables shown in the following sections are included with the projector. A DVI port is available only on certain models.

✎If you already have a home theater system with a TV, you can probably connect the projector in place of the TV as the viewing device.
